Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, oregano, cumin, and cinnamon. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
Using your hands or a small scoop, form the mixture into small meatballs (about 1.5 inches wide).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through.
Start with a base of warm brown rice in each bowl. Arrange the cooked meatballs on top.
Add sliced red onions, tomatoes, and cucumber. Spoon over dollops of tzatziki sauce and whipped garlic sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley or mint and serve with a wedge of lemon.
